Charles Wenzel's been discussing  this stuff lately on his Yahoo group (see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/techlibdotcom/ and
http://www.techlib.com/solarflare.htm ) .  It's worth checking out his
various ionization-chamber hacks at http://www.techlib.com/science/ion.html
, especially if you' re looking to breathe new life into the old CDV survey
meters.
